Another question, when record is inserted i want paymentID is incremented by 1 automatically. I have the table as below. How can i change the code below so when record is inserted into the table, paymentID gets incremented by 1.

i guess i have to add primary key and auto increment?

CREATE TABLE payment(
paymentID int,
amount int,
description varchar( 100 ) ,
Sender varchar( 50 )
)

Thanks.

how do i add it?

Member Avatar for bangla

i was able to add pk and auto increment.

First i set autoincrement to 500
then inserted some values up to 504. it worked.

then i reset auto increment to 14, but it does not work. it still increments from 505.

How can i drop any values from 500 and start increment from 14? do i have to drop old auto_increment first? not sure.

thanks.
